On August 19, 2026, in Hangzhou, China, a veterinary digital medical technology team announced that its independently developed 3D-printed custom small animal orthopedic implant platform has been officially put into commercial operation, after completing 9 months of clinical cooperation with 17 veterinary oncology hospitals. The platform can generate personalized orthopedic implant solutions based on the patient's CBCT scan data, achieving a 76% reduction in the custom implant production cycle from the traditional 72 hours to less than 17 hours.

      This small animal orthopedic 3D printing platform uses medical-grade titanium alloy powder as raw material, and adopts selective laser melting (SLM) technology to produce personalized implants that 100% match the anatomical shape of the patient's bone defect. It is specially used for the repair of large-area bone defects caused by small animal bone tumor resection, severe trauma and congenital bone dysplasia. Clinical data from a veterinary oncology hospital in Shanghai shows that after completing 137 cases of canine mandibular tumor resection and immediate reconstruction surgery, the postoperative implant matching accuracy reached 99.2%, and the 6-month survival rate of patients after surgery increased from 61% to 89%.

      The platform's built-in AI orthopedic planning software can automatically complete the design of the implant's internal porous structure, with a pore size of 500μm, which is more conducive to the ingrowth of surrounding bone tissue and the long-term stability of the implant. Each custom implant is equipped with a matching 3D printed surgical guide plate, which can help surgeons complete the tumor resection and implant installation accurately at one time, and the average operation time is reduced by 52%.

      Veterinary oncology industry reports show that more than 1.4 million small animals worldwide need large-area bone defect repair treatment every year, and custom orthopedic implants have long relied on expensive imported services. The launch of this domestic 3D-printed custom small animal orthopedic implant platform has reduced the cost of personalized implants by 63%, and it will provide services for more than 800 veterinary medical institutions around the world within 3 years, promoting the popularization of precision veterinary orthopedic surgery.
